Our Voices 2014 - Aquinas Trio Students

Why are some people called to serve? What is it about the act of service that draws us closer to others? These are some of the questions that Trio Students at Aquinas College sought to figure out in their own lives.

These student authors share stories of service learning trips where the connection they make with a family lasts longer than the week they spent there. They share numerous examples of generousity and connections with people much different than themselves. They share, in some cases, what it's like to be the recipient of that service and the blessings they felt from that experience. In all of their stories, the essential struggle of why service is an integral part of our society resonates.
